Suzy was born and raised in the Bronx, New York. She was the daughter of Lee and Tooey Yee.
She graduated from Baruch College with a degree in biology. Thereafter, she graduated from Lehman College Nursing School in 1991.
Suzy was an accomplished R.N., specializing in telemetry nursing for many years at United Hospital in Port Chester, N.Y. She was the ultimate “healer.”
Suzy married Frank Trief, the love of her life, on July 6, 1996, in Darien, Connecticut. They met in February of 1989, before they started nursing school and law school, respectively.
Most recently, Suzy and Frank celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary. Their marriage was predicated on an overabundance of mutual respect, a deep love for each other, and a desire to share all of life’s milestones and gifts.
Suzy and Frank have two amazing sons, Jarrod (23) and Jordan (21). They were the center of Suzy’s life. Suzy and Frank raised their sons in Stamford, Connecticut.
Family meant everything to Suzy. She cherished every moment spent with her husband and two sons.
Suzy absolutely loved to fish, spending countless hours bass and trout fishing upstate New York with Frank, Jarrod, and Jordan. And the biggest fish always seemed to find her fishing line. She simply loved the outdoors. She thoroughly enjoyed cooking delicious meals for her family; she was an amazing cook who rarely divulged her secret recipes!
Suzy also enjoyed shopping and spending quality time with her wonderful array of friends, from all different backgrounds.
She was the ultimate giver, a generous, compassionate, and selfless person who enriched the lives of everyone she came into contact with. Her unrelenting kindness had a tremendous, everlasting impact on the lives of all the people who she interacted with.
Suzy is survived by her mother, Tooey Yee, sisters Shirley Koo and Judy Mednick, and her brother Albert Yee. She is predeceased by her father, Lee Yee.
